A Sheffield pub has launched a pint made as a collaboration between two independent breweries from Sheffield and Manchester.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
\u2018The Beautiful North\u2019 ale was unveiled at The Hallamshire House<\/a> on 9 December, in partnership with Kelham Island Brewery<\/a> and Manchester-based Blackjack Brew Company<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The limited edition ale is named as a nod to the band, The Beautiful South, who have deep ties to the north of England. <\/p>\n\n\n\n It is presented as a trans-Pennine collaboration that brings together two cities with strong cultural links.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Jack Williams, 23, Sales Representative for Blackjack, said: \u201cIt\u2019s something that\u2019s so important for independent breweries, It\u2019s about building a community and showcasing our beers in areas we don\u2019t usually get to as much.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n The launch took place at the Hallamshire House in Crookesmore, where Doug Simpson, 32, is the general manager.<\/p>\n\n\n\n He said: \u201cWe\u2019re very excited to be the first pub to serve The Beautiful North.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n With rising staff costs and bills, pubs rely on the Christmas period to draw in big crowds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Mr Simpson talked of the importance of events like this, and advertised the pub\u2019s calendar for their biggest month of the year below:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
